Turn Any Textbook into Audio You Can Actually Study From

For low vision, visual fatigue, and print disabilities: full-content narration of your own materials — figures described out loud, chapters as downloadable MP3s, and quizzes to confirm it stuck.

Course Materials Assume Comfortable Reading

Dense print, small figures, low-contrast scans — for students with low vision or print disabilities, the format is the barrier, not the content. Accessible versions from publishers arrive late or never.

Where Existing Tools Stop Short

Basic text-to-speech reads the words but skips every figure and chart

Magnification works, but hours of it means visual fatigue by evening

Publisher audio editions cover few titles — and rarely your professor’s PDF handouts

Screen readers narrate interfaces, not 40-page scanned chapters

What Study Companion Does Differently

Your Materials, Not a Catalog

Works on whatever your course actually uses — textbook PDFs, scanned handouts, slide decks, photographed pages — not just titles a publisher chose to record.

Figures Become Spoken Explanations

Diagrams, charts, and illustrations are described and taught in the narration — the visual content stops being a silent gap in the audio.

Audio That Leaves the App

Per-chapter MP3s download to any player. Study with your own speed controls, your own device, your own routine.

Podcast Recap (per chapter)

Review the chapter with a focused 5-10 minute recap or a two-host discussion.

Read-Along Narration (full content)

Listen to the complete lesson while following the study guide section by section.

Generate audio inside your chapter workspace, preview the available voices, and download each finished lesson.

Audio-First by Design

Complete lessons through your ears — with checks that it stuck

Full-Content Narration

Read-along audio covers the complete teaching content of each chapter — not a summary, the material itself, spoken.

Figures Described Out Loud

Every diagram, chart, and illustration is explained in plain language as part of the lesson — nothing visual is silently skipped.

11 Voices, Previewable

Choose the voice that stays comfortable across long listening sessions — and preview it before generating anything.

Downloadable MP3s

Chapters download as MP3 files for any player or device, at whatever playback speed works for you. The files are yours to keep.

Playlists with Lock-Screen Controls

Queue a week of chapters on the web or Android app and control playback from the lock screen — no squinting at menus mid-session.

Comprehension Checks by Ear

Short chapter quizzes (2 credits, retakes free) confirm the listening landed — each miss points to the exact section to replay.

Why not just use ChatGPT?

Fair question — a chat window is the obvious first stop. Here is the honest difference when the material is measured in hundreds of pages, not paragraphs.

Coverage
File caps, message limits, and long documents quietly truncated mid-way.
Every selected page processed chapter by chapter — nothing silently skipped.
What you keep
A chat transcript.
A printable study-guide PDF, Word export, and downloadable per-chapter MP3s — yours forever.
Effort
Prompt skill, manual chunking, and stitching answers back together.
The same tested chapter structure for every document, automatically.
Trust
Answers drawn from the open internet.
Ask Your Book cites the exact chapter, section, and pages of your material.
Price
A typical AI subscription runs about $20 every month, whether you study or not.
One-time credit packs that never expire — nothing to cancel.

Downloadable per-chapter narration you can play anywhere — not text answers you have to read off a screen.

Got a 5-page handout? A chatbot is fine. Study Companion exists for the 300-page reviewer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a screen reader?

No. Screen readers like NVDA, JAWS, or TalkBack narrate your device interface; Study Companion transforms your study materials into structured audio lessons. It complements a screen reader rather than replacing it — the output is real narrated teaching you can download and play anywhere.

Are images, diagrams, and charts narrated too?

Yes. The AI studies each figure and describes what it shows in plain language as part of the lesson — so a chart or diagram becomes spoken explanation instead of a silent gap, which is where basic text-to-speech tools fall short.

Can I download the audio and use my own player?

Yes. Audio is generated per chapter and downloadable as MP3 files, so you can play lessons in any audio player, at your preferred speed, on any device — no need to stay inside the app.

Can a parent or teacher set this up for a student?

Yes. Uploading a document, approving the cost, and generating chapter audio takes a few minutes and can be done on the student’s behalf. The student then listens via the playlist on the web, the Android app, or the downloaded MP3s.

What does converting a textbook to audio cost?

Processing costs 1 credit per page with the exact total shown before you approve. Read-along narration then costs about 1 credit per 2 pages of source material per chapter. Every account starts with 20 free credits, packs are one-time purchases, and credits never expire.
